Tonight at Ten: | 0:00:05 | 0:00:06 | |
a major breakthrough
in the treatment of Huntington's | 0:00:06 | 0:00:08 | |
Disease which could lead
to new therapies for Alzheimer's | 0:00:08 | 0:00:11 | |
and other conditions. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:12 | |
By correcting the defect that
causes Huntington's, | 0:00:12 | 0:00:15 | |
the new experimental drug
is potentially the biggest | 0:00:15 | 0:00:18 | |
breakthrough in the field
for half a century. | 0:00:18 | 0:00:20 | |
We talk to one family
affected by Huntingtons, | 0:00:20 | 0:00:22 | |
as researchers underline
the significance of | 0:00:22 | 0:00:24 | |
this major advance. | 0:00:24 | 0:00:28 | |
For the first time
we have the potential, | 0:00:28 | 0:00:30 | |
we have the hope of a therapy that
one day may slow or prevent | 0:00:30 | 0:00:33 | |
Huntington's disease completely. | 0:00:33 | 0:00:39 | |
We'll have more details
and we'll be looking | 0:00:39 | 0:00:41 | |
at the potential for new treatments
for other conditions. | 0:00:41 | 0:00:45 | |
Also tonight: | 0:00:45 | 0:00:46 | |
Snow and ice cause disruption
on roads and at airports, | 0:00:46 | 0:00:48 | |
with temperatures set
to fall sharply overnight. | 0:00:48 | 0:00:52 | |
Police in Salford have launched
a murder inquiry after three | 0:00:52 | 0:00:55 | |
children died in a fire in a house. | 0:00:55 | 0:00:59 | |
New York police say
a man detonated a bomb | 0:00:59 | 0:01:01 | |
at the city's main bus terminal. | 0:01:01 | 0:01:03 | |
Four people were injured,
including the bomber. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:10 | |
And tributes to the broadcaster
Keith Chegwin - once a familiar face | 0:01:10 | 0:01:13 | |
who's died at the age of 60. | 0:01:13 | 0:01:17 | |
And coming up on
Sportsday on BBC News: | 0:01:18 | 0:01:20 | |
The full line up for
the Champions League - | 0:01:20 | 0:01:22 | |
including a Messi draw for Chelsea
who'll face Barcelona | 0:01:22 | 0:01:25 | |
in the last 16. | 0:01:25 | 0:01:27 | |
Good evening. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:50 | |
Scientists in London
have reported a major | 0:01:50 | 0:01:53 | |
breakthough in the treatment
of Huntington's Disease | 0:01:53 | 0:01:54 | |
and say it could lead
to new therapies for Alzheimer's | 0:01:54 | 0:01:57 | |
and other conditions. | 0:01:57 | 0:02:00 | |
It's been described as potentially
the biggest breakthrough | 0:02:00 | 0:02:04 | |
in the field for half a century
by correcting the defect that | 0:02:04 | 0:02:09 | |
causes Huntington's -
a disease which is incurable | 0:02:09 | 0:02:11 | |
and kills most sufferers
within 20 years of diagnosis. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:13 | |
Huntington's affects an estimated
10,000 people in the UK, | 0:02:13 | 0:02:16 | |
with a further 25,000 thought to be
at risk, as our health | 0:02:16 | 0:02:19 | |
correspondent James
Gallagher reports. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:24 | |
The Allen family has been
blighted by Huntington's. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:26 | |
They have seen their mother,
Stephanie, die from it. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:29 | |
The last year of her
life, every time we | 0:02:29 | 0:02:31 | |
all went to visit her, she just held
us and said, I want to die. | 0:02:31 | 0:02:34 | |
The disease claimed
their uncle Keith | 0:02:34 | 0:02:36 | |
and grant mother, Olive, too. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:37 | |
They describe it as Parkinson's,
Alzheimer's and motor neurone | 0:02:37 | 0:02:39 | |
disease all rolled into one. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:41 | |
When you have got something
that is degenerative, | 0:02:41 | 0:02:45 | |
you know that every day -
you know the last day was | 0:02:45 | 0:02:48 | |
probably better than
the next one's going to be. | 0:02:48 | 0:02:50 | |
Frank, his sister Sandy
and also their brother Peter's | 0:02:50 | 0:02:55 | |
brains will all slowly degenerate
from Huntington's too. | 0:02:55 | 0:02:56 | |
But now they have hope. | 0:02:56 | 0:03:01 | |
The treatment is called
gene-silencing. | 0:03:01 | 0:03:04 | |
Every cell in the body
contains genes which hold | 0:03:04 | 0:03:07 | |
the instructions
for running the body. | 0:03:07 | 0:03:08 | |
Huntington's disease is the result
of a corrupted gene that | 0:03:08 | 0:03:11 | |
leads to the creation of a toxic
protein which destroys the brain. | 0:03:11 | 0:03:14 | |
A messenger carries the blueprints
from the corrupted gene, this | 0:03:14 | 0:03:18 | |
treatment sticks to the messenger,
disabling and lowering | 0:03:18 | 0:03:20 | |
the production of
toxic brain protein. | 0:03:20 | 0:03:22 | |
This will feel a little chilly. | 0:03:22 | 0:03:24 | |
46 patients had the experimental
drug injected into the | 0:03:24 | 0:03:26 | |
fluid that bathes the
brain and spinal cord. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:28 | |
The trial should prove if
the therapy is safe and effective. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:31 | |
It was led by scientists at the
University College London, who say | 0:03:31 | 0:03:37 | |
the results are of
ground-breaking importance. | 0:03:37 | 0:03:45 | |
For the first time we have
the potential, we have the hope | 0:03:45 | 0:03:48 | |
of a therapy that one day may slow
or prevent Huntington's disease | 0:03:48 | 0:03:51 | |
completely. | 0:03:51 | 0:04:01 | |
This is the experimental therapy. | 0:04:08 | 0:04:18 | |
It is exciting, but it is not
a cure, it will require far more | 0:04:20 | 0:04:23 | |
research and following | 0:04:23 | 0:04:24 | |
patients for years to come. | 0:04:24 | 0:04:26 | |
This is a brain dieing
from huntington's. | 0:04:26 | 0:04:28 | |
Doctors are starting longer trials
to see whether targeting the protein | 0:04:28 | 0:04:34 | |
families like the Allens. | 0:04:34 | 0:04:35 | |
If it works and it stops me getting
any worse, than would be fantastic | 0:04:35 | 0:04:38 | |
personally, I never
really thought it would | 0:04:38 | 0:04:40 | |
ever happen that that
would | 0:04:40 | 0:04:41 | |
happen. | 0:04:41 | 0:04:45 | |
It's all about that you know can
we stop it in other people, our | 0:04:45 | 0:04:48 | |
children. | 0:04:48 | 0:04:50 | |
This research also holds promise
for other illnesses - | 0:04:50 | 0:04:52 | |
similar toxic proteins are found
in brain diseases including dementia | 0:04:52 | 0:04:54 | |
and Parkinson's. | 0:04:54 | 0:05:04 | |
I really think that this
is potentially the biggest | 0:05:09 | 0:05:11 | |
break through in knew row
degenerative diseases for the last | 0:05:11 | 0:05:13 | |
50 years. | 0:05:13 | 0:05:14 | |
We have very similar situations
in a at least some cases | 0:05:14 | 0:05:17 | |
of these other diseases
and if the over all mechanism | 0:05:17 | 0:05:19 | |
is essentially the same,
we should be able to use | 0:05:19 | 0:05:22 | |
the same general approach. | 0:05:22 | 0:05:23 | |
The Allens have made
a promise to their | 0:05:23 | 0:05:25 | |
children that a treatment would be
ready in time for them. | 0:05:25 | 0:05:27 | |
Research over the next
four years will see if | 0:05:27 | 0:05:30 | |
gene-silencing can
fulfil that promise. | 0:05:30 | 0:05:32 | |
And James Gallagher is here. | 0:05:32 | 0:05:36 | |
It is an important day, but as some
people have said it is not a | 0:05:36 | 0:05:41 | |
treatment or a cure, are they right
to make all these ambitious claims? | 0:05:41 | 0:05:45 | |
The thing about these diseases is
that they're some of the most | 0:05:45 | 0:05:51 | |
intractable problems in all
medicine. If you have Parkinson's, | 0:05:51 | 0:05:58 | |
Huntington's, dementia, there is no
cure or a drug to slow the pace. I | 0:05:58 | 0:06:03 | |
have been following the research for
two years and it is the first hint | 0:06:03 | 0:06:07 | |
of a drug that can slow the pace of
one of the diseases. It needs more | 0:06:07 | 0:06:12 | |
research. So it is generating real
excitement, because it is targeting | 0:06:12 | 0:06:17 | |
the fundamental cause of these
disease and beyond Huntington's it | 0:06:17 | 0:06:23 | |
may show the way to more complicated
diseases. Thank you. | 0:06:23 | 0:06:33 | |
Snow and ice in some areas have led
to the closure of hundreds | 0:06:33 | 0:06:36 | |
of schools in Wales and central
England today, while hundreds | 0:06:36 | 0:06:38 | |
of homes in the West Midlands
and Oxfordshire are facing power | 0:06:38 | 0:06:41 | |
cuts for a second night. | 0:06:41 | 0:06:43 | |
Weather experts are warning that
clear skies overnight will see | 0:06:43 | 0:06:45 | |
temperatures fall sharply again
and motoring organisations | 0:06:45 | 0:06:47 | |
are warning about ice on the roads,
as our correspondent Sima Kotecha | 0:06:47 | 0:06:50 | |
reports. | 0:06:50 | 0:06:56 | |
A blanket of snow covering
large parts of the UK. | 0:06:56 | 0:07:01 | |
It may look pretty but for many, it
causes disruption, chaos and stress. | 0:07:01 | 0:07:07 | |
An ideal playground for children,
many of whom have had the day off, | 0:07:07 | 0:07:11 | |
with hundreds of schools closed due
to slippery roads and pavements. | 0:07:11 | 0:07:16 | |
Here in Birmingham, the council-run
schools are closed today. | 0:07:16 | 0:07:20 | |
The local authority has faced some
criticism as a result, | 0:07:20 | 0:07:23 | |
with some saying there was no need
because roads like this one have | 0:07:23 | 0:07:26 | |
been cleared throughout the day. | 0:07:26 | 0:07:29 | |
Now, the council says that,
tomorrow, it will be up | 0:07:29 | 0:07:32 | |
to individual headteachers
as to whether they open or remain | 0:07:32 | 0:07:34 | |
closed, and that the priority
for them is the safety of children. | 0:07:34 | 0:07:37 | |
And it's not just around England. | 0:07:37 | 0:07:40 | |
Schools in parts of Northern Ireland
and Wales have also been closed. | 0:07:40 | 0:07:45 | |
On the roads, there's ice, making
driving dangerous and difficult. | 0:07:45 | 0:07:52 | |
Some vehicle emergency services
are claiming they've had | 0:07:52 | 0:07:54 | |
almost 14,000 calls today. | 0:07:54 | 0:07:57 | |
Tonight, gritters
are out in full force. | 0:07:57 | 0:08:00 | |
The crews have done about 15 runs
through the course of today. | 0:08:00 | 0:08:05 | |
We've covered about 17,000
miles of gritting, | 0:08:05 | 0:08:08 | |
which is from Gloucester
to Australia and back. | 0:08:08 | 0:08:10 | |
Just trying to keep us moving. | 0:08:10 | 0:08:12 | |
In South Wales, lorries
struggled with the conditions | 0:08:12 | 0:08:16 | |
while in Northern Ireland,
temperatures dipped to almost | 0:08:16 | 0:08:18 | |
minus double figures. | 0:08:18 | 0:08:22 | |
Snowcapped rocks lining
some of the Belfast | 0:08:22 | 0:08:23 | |
and Londonderry route. | 0:08:23 | 0:08:26 | |
In the highest village in Surrey,
the altitude combined with strong | 0:08:26 | 0:08:30 | |
winds made it a challenge but some
locals embraced the change. | 0:08:30 | 0:08:34 | |
Up here, we sometimes get a flurry
but it never really settles, | 0:08:34 | 0:08:37 | |
so I think this is the first time
in about three years we have had | 0:08:37 | 0:08:41 | |
some decent snowfall. | 0:08:41 | 0:08:43 | |
In the West Midlands,
an NHS Trust put out an appeal | 0:08:43 | 0:08:45 | |
for four-wheel drive vehicles
to help stranded nurses | 0:08:45 | 0:08:47 | |
get to hospitals. | 0:08:47 | 0:08:49 | |
Well, we offered a number of them up
to our health colleagues | 0:08:49 | 0:08:52 | |
because obviously there is a lot
of pressure on them at the moment | 0:08:52 | 0:08:55 | |
in either getting them to patients
or getting patients to hospital, | 0:08:55 | 0:08:58 | |
so we put them at the disposal of
the health colleagues we have got. | 0:08:58 | 0:09:02 | |
We've got well trained drivers,
a lot of good vehicles | 0:09:02 | 0:09:04 | |
that we are happy to lend. | 0:09:04 | 0:09:07 | |
And the problems aren't
just on the road. | 0:09:07 | 0:09:10 | |
A quarter of the flights
from Heathrow have been cancelled | 0:09:10 | 0:09:13 | |
after the UK's busiest airport dealt
with the fallout from | 0:09:13 | 0:09:16 | |
the weekend's heavy snow. | 0:09:16 | 0:09:19 | |
And there are still delays to ferry
services between Dover and Calais. | 0:09:19 | 0:09:22 | |
However, the port has now reopened
after being closed for a few hours. | 0:09:22 | 0:09:28 | |
The Met Office says it's going to be
an extremely cold night, | 0:09:28 | 0:09:31 | |
with some places experiencing
temperatures of around -13 Celsius. | 0:09:31 | 0:09:37 | |
Much of the snow will turn to ice,
raising more concerns | 0:09:37 | 0:09:40 | |
about travelling tomorrow. | 0:09:40 | 0:09:41 | |
Sima Kotecha, BBC News. | 0:09:41 | 0:09:48 | |
Well, Jon Kay is at at
a gritting station at Stroud | 0:09:48 | 0:09:50 | |
in Gloucestershire. | 0:09:50 | 0:09:53 | |
We have heard about some of the
work, but what is going on tonight? | 0:09:53 | 0:09:58 | |
They're working flat out right here
at the moment. This giant dome | 0:09:58 | 0:10:03 | |
stores salt and it was fall on
Friday, but half of it has gone. | 0:10:03 | 0:10:08 | |
Tonight it is expected to be their
busiest night so far. 450 tonnes of | 0:10:08 | 0:10:15 | |
salt will be spread. That is just in
Gloucestershire and just on the | 0:10:15 | 0:10:19 | |
roads. That doesn't include the
motorways. The latest we have from | 0:10:19 | 0:10:23 | |
the Met Office is that it is going
to be the coldest night of year so | 0:10:23 | 0:10:26 | |
far. Let's look at the figures. In
the Scottish borders, it could be | 0:10:26 | 0:10:32 | |
down to minus nine. In the
north-west of England, minus 10. The | 0:10:32 | 0:10:42 | |
coldest part of Britain is mid Wales
where it could be minus 13. So | 0:10:42 | 0:10:48 | |
gritting centres are trying to work
out when is the best time to put the | 0:10:48 | 0:10:52 | |
salt down. If it is too cold it
won't work. If it is too wet it | 0:10:52 | 0:10:57 | |
won't work. So they're using data
from sensors in the roads to find | 0:10:57 | 0:11:05 | |
what is the best time for the rush
hour. Thank you. | 0:11:05 | 0:11:11 | |
Greater Manchester Police have
arrested five people, | 0:11:11 | 0:11:15 | |
four of them on suspicion of
murder, after three children died | 0:11:15 | 0:11:18 | |
in a house fire in Worsley. | 0:11:18 | 0:11:19 | |
A 14-year-old girl, named
locally as Demi Pearson, | 0:11:19 | 0:11:21 | |
was pronounced dead at the scene. | 0:11:21 | 0:11:23 | |
An eight-year-old boy
and a seven-year-old girl | 0:11:23 | 0:11:24 | |
died later in hospital. | 0:11:24 | 0:11:31 | |
Their mother and another
three-year-old child | 0:11:31 | 0:11:32 | |
are being treated in hospital. | 0:11:32 | 0:11:33 | |
Our correspondent
Danny Savage reports. | 0:11:33 | 0:11:37 | |
In a street of terraced houses
on the edge of Manchester, a family | 0:11:37 | 0:11:40 | |
home, which was set alight early
this morning, is now a major | 0:11:40 | 0:11:43 | |
crime scene. | 0:11:43 | 0:11:44 | |
Neighbours who knew the victims
and saw what happened have | 0:11:44 | 0:11:46 | |
been left deeply upset. | 0:11:46 | 0:11:47 | |
Just a bang and all
fireballs coming from | 0:11:47 | 0:11:49 | |
the house. | 0:11:49 | 0:11:52 | |
Susan Smith watched in horror
as the children were rescued. | 0:11:52 | 0:11:55 | |
They were carrying the children
into the ambulance and that. | 0:11:55 | 0:11:58 | |
An awful thing to happen
on your own street? | 0:11:58 | 0:12:01 | |
Yes. | 0:12:01 | 0:12:04 | |
The 14-year-old girl who died
at the scene has been named locally | 0:12:04 | 0:12:06 | |
as Demi Pearson. | 0:12:06 | 0:12:08 | |
An eight-year-old boy
and seven-year-old boy died later | 0:12:08 | 0:12:10 | |
in hospital. | 0:12:10 | 0:12:12 | |
A three-year-old girl
is in a critical condition and the | 0:12:12 | 0:12:15 | |
mother of all the children, named
locally as Michelle Pearson, is also | 0:12:15 | 0:12:18 | |
seriously ill. | 0:12:18 | 0:12:19 | |
The deaths of three
children is heart-breaking. | 0:12:19 | 0:12:22 | |
Our thoughts are with the family,
the little girl and her mum who are | 0:12:22 | 0:12:27 | |
fighting for their lives. | 0:12:27 | 0:12:29 | |
Our specially trained
officers are now | 0:12:29 | 0:12:31 | |
with the family to help them
through this devastating time. | 0:12:31 | 0:12:37 | |
Tonight, several arrests have been
made - the majority of them | 0:12:37 | 0:12:40 | |
on suspicion of murder -
as scores of detectives continue | 0:12:40 | 0:12:42 | |
to work on this investigation. | 0:12:42 | 0:12:47 | |
At the nearby Church
of St John the Baptist, | 0:12:47 | 0:12:52 | |
the doors were opened tonight
for people to come in and | 0:12:52 | 0:12:54 | |
remember the children
who died and it was | 0:12:54 | 0:12:56 | |
well attended - such
is the | 0:12:56 | 0:12:58 | |
effect of these awful events. | 0:12:58 | 0:13:05 | |
Police in New York say
a man detonated a bomb | 0:13:05 | 0:13:08 | |
close to the city's main
bus terminal during | 0:13:08 | 0:13:10 | |
the morning rush-hour. | 0:13:10 | 0:13:12 | |
Four people, including the bomber,
were injured in a small explosion | 0:13:12 | 0:13:15 | |
in central Manhattan. | 0:13:15 | 0:13:17 | |
A 27-year-old man, thought to be
originally from Bangladesh, | 0:13:17 | 0:13:19 | |
has been arrested -
as our correspondent | 0:13:19 | 0:13:21 | |
Nick Bryant reports. | 0:13:21 | 0:13:26 | |
7.20 in the morning -
the height of the rush hour - | 0:13:26 | 0:13:29 | |
and security camera footage
of an underpass at New | 0:13:29 | 0:13:32 | |
York's busiest bus terminal. | 0:13:32 | 0:13:35 | |
This low-tech bomb was detonated
deliberately in the hope of killing | 0:13:35 | 0:13:37 | |
Monday morning commuters. | 0:13:37 | 0:13:41 | |
The failed suicide
bomber had strapped the | 0:13:41 | 0:13:43 | |
home-made device to his body
with velcro, but he was the only | 0:13:43 | 0:13:46 | |
person that's seriously injured. | 0:13:46 | 0:13:49 | |
Coming as such a busy time in such a
congested place, the intent appears | 0:13:49 | 0:13:52 | |
to have been to cause
mass casualties. | 0:13:52 | 0:13:55 | |
The Port Authority bus terminal
serves 65 million passengers a year, | 0:13:55 | 0:14:00 | |
but only three other people
were treated for minor injuries. | 0:14:00 | 0:14:03 | |
What the authorities
are calling a terror | 0:14:03 | 0:14:05 | |
attack could have
been so much worse. | 0:14:05 | 0:14:09 | |
Thank God the perpetrator did not
achieve his ultimate goals. | 0:14:09 | 0:14:14 | |
Thank God our first
responders were there | 0:14:14 | 0:14:16 | |
so quickly to address
the | 0:14:16 | 0:14:17 | |
situation and to make
sure people were safe. | 0:14:17 | 0:14:22 | |
This is the suspect,
Akayed Ullah, a 27-year-old | 0:14:22 | 0:14:24 | |
immigrant from Bangladesh
who arrived here in 2011. | 0:14:24 | 0:14:27 | |
He would never have made
it into the country, | 0:14:27 | 0:14:31 | |
claimed the White House,
under President Trump's proposed | 0:14:31 | 0:14:33 | |
immigration limitations. | 0:14:33 | 0:14:34 | |
We must protect our
borders, we must ensure | 0:14:34 | 0:14:38 | |
that individuals entering our
country are not coming to do harm to | 0:14:38 | 0:14:41 | |
our people and we must
move a merit-based | 0:14:41 | 0:14:43 | |
similar of immigration. | 0:14:43 | 0:14:45 | |
Back in New York, a quick
round of Instagrams | 0:14:45 | 0:14:48 | |
and then the city moved on. | 0:14:48 | 0:14:50 | |
What's remarkable is that within two
hours of attack, New York City | 0:14:50 | 0:14:53 | |
has pretty much returned to normal. | 0:14:53 | 0:14:54 | |
There is a road closure here,
but the subways are all open | 0:14:54 | 0:14:57 | |
and people are going
about their business. | 0:14:57 | 0:15:00 | |
This attack failed
to cause death and it | 0:15:00 | 0:15:02 | |
failed to cause much disruption. | 0:15:02 | 0:15:05 | |
The authorities believe
the failed bomber acted alone. | 0:15:05 | 0:15:07 | |
The question they haven't
yet answered - was he | 0:15:07 | 0:15:09 | |
inspired by the group calling
itself Islamic State? | 0:15:09 | 0:15:18 | |
It got | 0:15:18 | 0:15:19 | |
Lawyers for survivors
of the Grenfell Tower fire | 0:15:19 | 0:15:21 | |
have called for a 'more diverse
panel' to advise the Chairman | 0:15:21 | 0:15:23 | |
of the inquiry into the disaster. | 0:15:23 | 0:15:27 | |
They were speaking at the start
of a two-day hearing | 0:15:27 | 0:15:29 | |
into how the inquiry should proceed. | 0:15:29 | 0:15:31 | |
71 people died in the tragedy
in June this year. | 0:15:31 | 0:15:38 | |
Six months on, the BBC
has found that the cost | 0:15:38 | 0:15:41 | |
of fire safety measures
in tower blocks has | 0:15:41 | 0:15:43 | |
already reached
at least £600 million | 0:15:43 | 0:15:44 | |
and could well be more than double
that, as our home editor | 0:15:44 | 0:15:47 | |
Mark Easton reports. | 0:15:47 | 0:15:50 | |
Across the country,
the shock from Grenfell can | 0:15:50 | 0:15:52 | |
still be felt six months on. | 0:15:52 | 0:15:54 | |
The question, "Am I safe?",
still echoes from hundreds | 0:15:54 | 0:15:56 | |
of high-rise towers like these
in Greater Manchester. | 0:15:56 | 0:16:02 | |
The more I have been thinking
about it, the less sleep | 0:16:02 | 0:16:04 | |
I have been getting. | 0:16:04 | 0:16:05 | |
I have been having broken sleep now
for weeks and weeks and weeks. | 0:16:05 | 0:16:09 | |
I just don't trust the electrics
in these blocks any more. | 0:16:09 | 0:16:12 | |
This is one that I have
actually put in. | 0:16:12 | 0:16:20 | |
John Smith has been in this council
block for 20 years. | 0:16:20 | 0:16:25 | |
The cladding that clings to the wall
outside John's flat failed safety | 0:16:25 | 0:16:27 | |
tests and the council started
to remove the panels, | 0:16:27 | 0:16:30 | |
but then work stopped amid confusion
over what should replace them. | 0:16:30 | 0:16:33 | |
Fire wardens now
patrol day and night. | 0:16:33 | 0:16:37 | |
If I had the money,
I would not be living here. | 0:16:37 | 0:16:40 | |
I'd be living somewhere else. | 0:16:40 | 0:16:42 | |
Thousands of residents of tower
blocks like this one | 0:16:42 | 0:16:44 | |
in Greater Manchester have been told
that even now, without definitive | 0:16:44 | 0:16:47 | |
guidance from central government,
the local authorities cannot give | 0:16:47 | 0:16:49 | |
them an absolute assurance
of their safety. | 0:16:49 | 0:16:54 | |
The current building regulations
and fire safety rules have been | 0:16:54 | 0:16:56 | |
described as not fit for purpose. | 0:16:56 | 0:17:05 | |
We will chase that again over the
next few days... | 0:17:05 | 0:17:10 | |
Greater Manchester's high-rise task
force says it is frustrated that six | 0:17:10 | 0:17:12 | |
months after the tragedy
in North Kensington, so much | 0:17:12 | 0:17:15 | |
uncertainty and anxiety remains. | 0:17:15 | 0:17:16 | |
This has taken far too long,
this is just simply not acceptable. | 0:17:16 | 0:17:18 | |
What we have got here
is an industrial crisis, | 0:17:18 | 0:17:21 | |
as far as I am concerned
and it is up to government | 0:17:21 | 0:17:23 | |
to actually regulate this industry. | 0:17:23 | 0:17:25 | |
With the government's review
of building regulations and fire | 0:17:25 | 0:17:27 | |
safety not due to publish its final
report until spring next year, | 0:17:27 | 0:17:30 | |
many housing providers across the UK
are reluctant to commit to safety | 0:17:30 | 0:17:33 | |
improvements until the
post-Grenfell rules are clear. | 0:17:33 | 0:17:41 | |
BBC research suggests that the bill
for work that councils and housing | 0:17:41 | 0:17:44 | |
associations say must be done
after Grenfell has now reached | 0:17:44 | 0:17:46 | |
at least £600 million and that is in
the public sector alone. | 0:17:46 | 0:17:52 | |
But for all the safety
first promises made both | 0:17:52 | 0:17:54 | |
nationally and locally,
there is an argument raging | 0:17:54 | 0:17:56 | |
over who should pay. | 0:17:56 | 0:18:04 | |
The pipe is going through the wall
here, they were not sealed properly. | 0:18:04 | 0:18:10 | |
Phil Murphy is a former fire safety | 0:18:10 | 0:18:12 | |
officer and after Grenfell, | 0:18:12 | 0:18:13 | |
he did checks on the Manchester
tower where he lives. | 0:18:13 | 0:18:15 | |
He discovered the building's
internal system to stop fire | 0:18:15 | 0:18:18 | |
spreading had been completely
compromised. | 0:18:18 | 0:18:19 | |
They found holes in the floors,
holes in the ceiling, | 0:18:19 | 0:18:21 | |
holes between the flats,
holes between the flats | 0:18:21 | 0:18:23 | |
and the escape route. | 0:18:23 | 0:18:28 | |
How dangerous was the block at that
time? | 0:18:28 | 0:18:32 | |
Absolutely lethal. | 0:18:32 | 0:18:32 | |
Phil has now launched a campaign
for sprinklers to be fitted | 0:18:32 | 0:18:35 | |
to all high-rise towers
and many of his neighbours | 0:18:35 | 0:18:37 | |
are backing him. | 0:18:37 | 0:18:39 | |
That would be a good idea. Because
all we have got is the holes there. | 0:18:39 | 0:18:46 | |
Someone is going to have to pay for
that, that is the problem. | 0:18:46 | 0:18:51 | |
The government says building | 0:18:51 | 0:18:52 | |
owners should fund safety | 0:18:52 | 0:18:53 | |
measures like sprinklers. | 0:18:53 | 0:18:54 | |
Even though many Fire Services
say they are essential. | 0:18:54 | 0:18:57 | |
Where I want to get
to is to fully cost this up, | 0:18:57 | 0:19:00 | |
look at the potential economic
impact here within Greater | 0:19:00 | 0:19:02 | |
Manchester and take that
to government and ask them | 0:19:02 | 0:19:04 | |
to actually pay for it. | 0:19:04 | 0:19:05 | |
Do you think central government
should foot the bill? | 0:19:05 | 0:19:08 | |
Absolutely. | 0:19:08 | 0:19:09 | |
In the days after the Grenfell
tragedy, the Prime Minister said | 0:19:09 | 0:19:11 | |
she would not and could not ask
people to live in unsafe homes. | 0:19:11 | 0:19:15 | |
Six months on, and many high-rise
residents are still worried | 0:19:15 | 0:19:17 | |
that is exactly where they will
be this Christmas. | 0:19:17 | 0:19:19 | |

Greater Manchester. | 0:19:19 | 0:19:29 | |
A man has been arrested on suspicion
of trespass after trying to climb | 0:19:31 | 0:19:35 | |
into the Buckingham Palace. The
police said the suspect was not | 0:19:35 | 0:19:39 | |
carrying any offensive weapons and
the incident they say is not now | 0:19:39 | 0:19:43 | |
being treated as terror related. | 0:19:43 | 0:19:45 | |
Three women who claim
they were sexually harassed | 0:19:45 | 0:19:47 | |
by Donald Trump have called
on the US Congress to investigate | 0:19:47 | 0:19:50 | |
allegations of his misconduct. | 0:19:50 | 0:19:51 | |
The White House has repeatedly
rejected the womens' accusations, | 0:19:51 | 0:19:53 | |
which first came to light
during last year's | 0:19:53 | 0:19:55 | |
presidential race. | 0:19:55 | 0:19:56 | |
Mr Trump's accusers are now
demanding accountability | 0:19:56 | 0:19:58 | |
for the President's actions,
as Rajini Vaidyanathan reports. | 0:19:58 | 0:20:05 | |
These three women are accusing
the most powerful man in the world | 0:20:05 | 0:20:07 | |
of sexual misconduct. | 0:20:07 | 0:20:10 | |
They first spoke out last
year, but in the wake | 0:20:10 | 0:20:13 | |
of the Harvey Weinstein scandal,
they are now calling on Congress | 0:20:13 | 0:20:15 | |
to investigate President Trump. | 0:20:15 | 0:20:18 | |
In an objective setting
without question, a person with this | 0:20:18 | 0:20:21 | |
record would have entered the
graveyard of political aspirations, | 0:20:21 | 0:20:23 | |
never to return, | 0:20:23 | 0:20:24 | |
yet here we are
with that man as President. | 0:20:24 | 0:20:29 | |
Jessica Leeds, who was at today's
news conference, says | 0:20:29 | 0:20:31 | |
she was assaulted by Mr Trump
decades ago while she was sitting | 0:20:31 | 0:20:34 | |
next to him on a flight. | 0:20:34 | 0:20:37 | |
The next thing I know,
Trump is over me like a wet blanket | 0:20:37 | 0:20:42 | |
and he is kissing and fondling
and everything, and the next thing | 0:20:42 | 0:20:46 | |
I realised was that he was putting
his hand up my skirt. | 0:20:46 | 0:20:49 | |
I grabbed my purse and went
to the back of the airplane. | 0:20:49 | 0:20:56 | |
TRUMP: And when you are a star,
they let you do it. | 0:20:56 | 0:20:59 | |
You can do anything. | 0:20:59 | 0:21:00 | |
It was after the release of this
tape, where Mr Trump can be heard | 0:21:00 | 0:21:03 | |
bragging about groping women,
that more than a dozen accusers | 0:21:03 | 0:21:06 | |
came forward with allegations
of sexual misconduct. | 0:21:06 | 0:21:09 | |
All I can say it is totally fake
news, it is fake, it is made-up | 0:21:09 | 0:21:12 | |
stuff and it is disgraceful
what happens - | 0:21:12 | 0:21:14 | |
but that happens
in the world of politics, John. | 0:21:14 | 0:21:20 | |
But the women say they
are telling the truth. | 0:21:20 | 0:21:23 | |
Apprentice contestant Summer Zervos
says Mr Trump forcibly kissed her | 0:21:23 | 0:21:25 | |
on several occasions
a decade ago. | 0:21:25 | 0:21:30 | |
She wants to sue him for defamation
after he called her a liar. | 0:21:30 | 0:21:33 | |
If the judge in New York decides
the case should go ahead, | 0:21:33 | 0:21:36 | |
her lawyer could call
the President to testify. | 0:21:36 | 0:21:39 | |
No man is above the law, | 0:21:39 | 0:21:40 | |
including the President
of the United States. | 0:21:40 | 0:21:42 | |
In the past week alone,
three members of Congress have been | 0:21:42 | 0:21:45 | |
forced to resign over accusations
of sexual misconduct. | 0:21:45 | 0:21:49 | |
In this current climate,
many are asking why the same | 0:21:49 | 0:21:52 | |
pressure hasn't been applied
at the gates of the White House. | 0:21:52 | 0:21:56 | |
But many voters simply
aren't concerned. | 0:21:56 | 0:21:58 | |
Remember, Donald Trump won last
year's election in spite | 0:21:58 | 0:22:00 | |
of these allegations,
which he denies. | 0:22:00 | 0:22:04 | |
I felt like we had no choice... | 0:22:04 | 0:22:06 | |
But for these women,
it does matter because Donald Trump | 0:22:06 | 0:22:08 | |
is President of the United States. | 0:22:08 | 0:22:11 | |
It left me feeling very
gross, very dirty. | 0:22:11 | 0:22:13 | |
They want to raise the profile
of their allegations | 0:22:13 | 0:22:15 | |
and hope, in some way,
he will be held accountable. | 0:22:15 | 0:22:18 | |
Rajini Vaidyanathan,
BBC News, Washington. | 0:22:18 | 0:22:25 | |
The BBC has commissioned one
of the largest surveys | 0:22:25 | 0:22:27 | |
of the incidence of sexual
harassment at work. | 0:22:27 | 0:22:29 | |
The poll of six thousand men
and women found that people working | 0:22:29 | 0:22:32 | |
in the hospitality sector,
self-employed workers, | 0:22:32 | 0:22:34 | |
and those on zero-hours
contracts, were more likely | 0:22:34 | 0:22:36 | |
to face unwanted attention. | 0:22:36 | 0:22:40 | |
Among the other findings,
40 per cent of women and 18 per cent | 0:22:40 | 0:22:43 | |
of men said they'd been sexually
harassed in the workplace. | 0:22:43 | 0:22:48 | |
Nearly one in seven women,
14 per cent, said they've been | 0:22:48 | 0:22:51 | |
sexually assaulted at work. | 0:22:51 | 0:22:54 | |
And five per cent of women said
they were told their career | 0:22:54 | 0:22:57 | |
would be advanced in return
for sexual favours. | 0:22:57 | 0:22:59 | |
Our special corrrespondent
Lucy Manning has been listening | 0:22:59 | 0:23:01 | |
to some of the women affected. | 0:23:01 | 0:23:08 | |
I have had people ask me to send
them nude photos in the workplace | 0:23:08 | 0:23:11 | |
and you feel like nothing
is going to be done about it. | 0:23:11 | 0:23:17 | |
As a waitress, I experienced sexual
harassment all the time. | 0:23:17 | 0:23:20 | |
I almost think of my
work as sex work. | 0:23:20 | 0:23:30 | |
My boss was drunk and
tries to come onto me, | 0:23:30 | 0:23:37 | |
My boss was drunk and tries to come
onto me, he's wearing this, like, | 0:23:37 | 0:23:41 | |
bathrobe, it is disgusting. | 0:23:41 | 0:23:42 | |
For many young working women,
the question is not if they have | 0:23:42 | 0:23:45 | |
been harassed doing their job,
but how many times. | 0:23:45 | 0:23:47 | |
It is one of those things,
where there are so many examples | 0:23:47 | 0:23:50 | |
of it, it is difficult
to choose from. | 0:23:50 | 0:23:52 | |
It is quite difficult
to even pick one thing, | 0:23:52 | 0:23:54 | |
because it seemed so ingrained
into every interaction | 0:23:54 | 0:23:56 | |
that you have. | 0:23:56 | 0:23:57 | |
Honey Jamie worked in gyms but had
to leave the industry due | 0:23:57 | 0:24:00 | |
to harassment by men and women
she worked with. | 0:24:00 | 0:24:03 | |
The BBC's poll of 6000 people,
the largest survey on harassment | 0:24:03 | 0:24:05 | |
at work, found 40% of women said it
has happened to them. | 0:24:05 | 0:24:08 | |
I was a teenager at the time,
I felt almost in a way, | 0:24:08 | 0:24:11 | |
that this must be what it is like,
to have a job. | 0:24:11 | 0:24:15 | |
This is what it is like to be
a young woman, this is normal. | 0:24:15 | 0:24:19 | |
A work contact of mine who wasn't
in my company, you know, | 0:24:19 | 0:24:21 | |
a colleague from somewhere else,
decided to stick his | 0:24:21 | 0:24:24 | |
tongue down my throat. | 0:24:24 | 0:24:25 | |
Completely uninvited. | 0:24:25 | 0:24:29 | |
This woman has the text of a senior
colleague who lunged at her. | 0:24:29 | 0:24:37 | |
I am like, you don't remember trying
to kiss me. He said he was | 0:24:37 | 0:24:41 | |
devastated, I have never done that
in my life. | 0:24:41 | 0:24:45 | |
The BBC poll shows that 10% of women | 0:24:45 | 0:24:47 | |
have experienced harassment
in the last year. | 0:24:47 | 0:24:49 | |
Is that something
you find surprising? | 0:24:49 | 0:24:50 | |
No. | 0:24:50 | 0:24:52 | |
I don't think it's getting
any better with time. | 0:24:52 | 0:24:56 | |
I just feel like it
is more normalised. | 0:24:56 | 0:24:58 | |
I think women just accept it more. | 0:24:58 | 0:25:00 | |
People might think it is surprising
that so many women are still being | 0:25:00 | 0:25:04 | |
harassed in this day and age. | 0:25:04 | 0:25:08 | |
I can't imagine... | 0:25:08 | 0:25:09 | |
When the whole #MeToo thing
happened, there was not a single one | 0:25:09 | 0:25:12 | |
of my girlfriends who was remotely
surprised about how | 0:25:12 | 0:25:14 | |
many people spoke out. | 0:25:14 | 0:25:15 | |
The majority of my male friends just
looked at me and said I had no idea | 0:25:15 | 0:25:19 | |
that this was so common! | 0:25:19 | 0:25:22 | |
Female flexible workers are the most
likely to suffer harassment at work | 0:25:22 | 0:25:24 | |
with nearly 60% saying
they have experienced it. | 0:25:24 | 0:25:29 | |
I guess you just feel less worthy,
in precarious work. | 0:25:29 | 0:25:31 | |
I suppose there are more
people in our generation | 0:25:31 | 0:25:33 | |
who are working like this. | 0:25:33 | 0:25:39 | |
This woman prepares to head
to her waitressing job. | 0:25:39 | 0:25:41 | |
She works in the industry
with the most harassment. | 0:25:41 | 0:25:46 | |
The poll shows women in hospitality
have experienced the most harassment | 0:25:46 | 0:25:49 | |
where more than half have suffered
it, followed by | 0:25:49 | 0:25:51 | |
the service industry. | 0:25:51 | 0:25:54 | |
High rates of harassment
were reported in the public | 0:25:54 | 0:25:56 | |
sector and also in retail. | 0:25:56 | 0:25:59 | |
I was pouring a bottle of wine
for one guest and a bit of wine | 0:25:59 | 0:26:02 | |
splashed out onto his hand
and he told me to lick it off. | 0:26:02 | 0:26:10 | |
The poll found few have spoken out. | 0:26:10 | 0:26:12 | |
Of those women who say
they were harassed at work, | 0:26:12 | 0:26:15 | |
just 25% reported it
to anyone at all. | 0:26:15 | 0:26:18 | |
I know that I never reported it. | 0:26:18 | 0:26:21 | |
I left two jobs because I did not
feel confident enough | 0:26:21 | 0:26:24 | |
to report what was happening. | 0:26:24 | 0:26:28 | |
Do you think the high profile cases
are going to change it | 0:26:28 | 0:26:31 | |
for women in the workplace? | 0:26:31 | 0:26:32 | |
The high profile cases at the moment
are what inspired me to speak | 0:26:32 | 0:26:35 | |
up for the first time,
because I have never | 0:26:35 | 0:26:37 | |
spoken about it before. | 0:26:37 | 0:26:40 | |
If famous prominent women
can be treated the way | 0:26:40 | 0:26:42 | |
they have now revealed,
the reality for women | 0:26:42 | 0:26:44 | |
in offices, cafes and shops
is still largely hidden. | 0:26:44 | 0:26:46 | |

One of the most important oil
pipelines is being shut down after | 0:26:58 | 0:27:02 | |
crack was discovered in
Aberdeenshire. It carries around 40% | 0:27:02 | 0:27:06 | |
of Northsea crude oil across land
for processing at Grangemouth. The | 0:27:06 | 0:27:11 | |
brands of Brent crude rose after
news that the plant could be shut | 0:27:11 | 0:27:15 | |
for around three weeks. | 0:27:15 | 0:27:18 | |
Some half a million
children and young people | 0:27:18 | 0:27:19 | |
are gambling every week. | 0:27:19 | 0:27:20 | |
And for the first time,
the Gambling Commission's annual | 0:27:20 | 0:27:23 | |
survey, published tomorrow,
has looked at gambling | 0:27:23 | 0:27:24 | |
with virtual currencies,
known as 'Skins Betting'. | 0:27:24 | 0:27:26 | |
The regulators say cracking down
on the 3-billion pound industry | 0:27:26 | 0:27:28 | |
is one of their top priorities,
as our correspondent | 0:27:28 | 0:27:30 | |
Sian Loyd explains. | 0:27:30 | 0:27:35 | |
Being a student, you get your
student loan, some people | 0:27:35 | 0:27:38 | |
would spend it on expensive clothes,
you know, I spent it | 0:27:38 | 0:27:48 | |
on gambling virtual items. | 0:27:48 | 0:27:49 | |
There have been points
where I struggled to buy food | 0:27:49 | 0:27:51 | |
because it just takes priority. | 0:27:51 | 0:27:53 | |
Four years ago, Ryan's love
of gaming spiraled into gambling. | 0:27:53 | 0:27:55 | |
He has lost more than £2000. | 0:27:55 | 0:27:56 | |
He is one of a growing number
of gamers being drawn into the world | 0:27:56 | 0:28:00 | |
of so-called skins betting. | 0:28:00 | 0:28:03 | |
It is hard to ask your parents
for £1000 to buy, like, | 0:28:03 | 0:28:13 | |
like, a knife on CS-GO. | 0:28:17 | 0:28:18 | |
It is a lot easier to ask
for a tenner and try | 0:28:18 | 0:28:21 | |
and turn it into 1000. | 0:28:21 | 0:28:23 | |
These are those skins,
knives and weapons. | 0:28:23 | 0:28:24 | |
They are virtual items,
used when playing computer games, | 0:28:24 | 0:28:26 | |
like Counterstrike Global Offensive,
or as these young | 0:28:26 | 0:28:28 | |
people call it, CS-Go. | 0:28:28 | 0:28:29 | |
They have a commercial value,
some can be bought for pennies, | 0:28:29 | 0:28:32 | |
but the rare ones cost thousands
and are highly collectable. | 0:28:32 | 0:28:35 | |
They exist within the game,
but as these teenagers know, | 0:28:35 | 0:28:38 | |
there are unlicensed sites
where skins can be gambled and later | 0:28:38 | 0:28:40 | |
converted into cash. | 0:28:40 | 0:28:47 | |
Everywhere on the internet,
people are talking about how much | 0:28:47 | 0:28:49 | |
money they have lost
on gambling sites. | 0:28:49 | 0:28:52 | |
It is just like any other gambling,
it is all addictive, | 0:28:52 | 0:28:54 | |
you know, it is an issue. | 0:28:54 | 0:28:56 | |
I have known someone
of the age of ten who has | 0:28:56 | 0:28:59 | |
lost maybe about £2000. | 0:28:59 | 0:28:59 | |
I have gambled a bit myself. | 0:28:59 | 0:29:01 | |
You know, I'm not proud of it,
I have lost a bit of money. | 0:29:01 | 0:29:05 | |
The concern is that through games
like these, young people could be | 0:29:05 | 0:29:08 | |
drawn into new forms of online
gambling, which begs the question, | 0:29:08 | 0:29:10 | |
is the regulator struggling to keep
pace with the real problems | 0:29:10 | 0:29:13 | |
of the virtual world? | 0:29:13 | 0:29:20 | |
What we have identified now
is a new front of unlicensed skin | 0:29:20 | 0:29:23 | |
betting, that is particularly
appealing in some cases | 0:29:23 | 0:29:25 | |
to children and young people,
that is a chief concern to us. | 0:29:25 | 0:29:30 | |
They are running up bills,
perhaps on their parents' PayPal | 0:29:30 | 0:29:32 | |
account or credit card,
but the wider effect | 0:29:32 | 0:29:34 | |
is the introduction
and the normalisation of this kind | 0:29:34 | 0:29:36 | |
of gambling among children
and young people. | 0:29:36 | 0:29:44 | |
I think it it is a huge emergence
this year and I think it is going | 0:29:44 | 0:29:48 | |
to get bigger and bigger. | 0:29:48 | 0:29:49 | |
Children's charities
are also concerned. | 0:29:49 | 0:29:50 | |
They say many parents are not even
aware of the dangers and want to see | 0:29:50 | 0:29:54 | |
the Gambling Commission doing more. | 0:29:54 | 0:29:55 | |
Gambling is changing it's shape,
it is starting to occur | 0:29:55 | 0:29:58 | |
in new and different forms
and at the moment, regulators | 0:29:58 | 0:30:00 | |
do not seem to be doing
anything much about it. | 0:30:00 | 0:30:07 | |
Earlier this year,
the Gambling Commission did | 0:30:07 | 0:30:08 | |
prosecute one company operating
an illegal skins betting site | 0:30:08 | 0:30:10 | |
within the UK, but many are based
abroad and are easy for young people | 0:30:10 | 0:30:14 | |
to find via social media. | 0:30:14 | 0:30:19 | |
You don't see an 11-year-old walk
into a betting shop and betting | 0:30:19 | 0:30:22 | |
200 on a horse race,
you know, but you can | 0:30:22 | 0:30:25 | |
do it with this. | 0:30:25 | 0:30:26 | |
There is no stopping that. | 0:30:26 | 0:30:29 | |
Some games providers have put more
safeguards in place, | 0:30:29 | 0:30:32 | |
but the challenge for the gaming
industry and the regulator remains, | 0:30:32 | 0:30:34 | |
to keep pace with those
businesses who unscrupulously | 0:30:34 | 0:30:36 | |
target young people. | 0:30:36 | 0:30:37 | |
Sian Lloyd, BBC News. | 0:30:37 | 0:30:42 | |
The broadcaster Keith Chegwin,
known to millions of children | 0:30:47 | 0:30:49 | |
and young people in the 1970s
and 80s as one of television's most | 0:30:49 | 0:30:52 | |
familiar presenters has
died of a lung condition | 0:30:52 | 0:30:54 | |
at the age of 60. | 0:30:54 | 0:30:57 | |
He played a part in pioneering
new programme formats, | 0:30:57 | 0:30:59 | |
such as Multi-Coloured Swap Shop
and Cheggers Plays Pop in a varied | 0:30:59 | 0:31:02 | |
career that would span five decades,
as our correspondent Lizo Mzimba | 0:31:02 | 0:31:05 | |
reports. | 0:31:05 | 0:31:15 | |
His energy, his sheer enthusiasm,
made Keith Chegwin into a household | 0:31:16 | 0:31:18 | |
name. | 0:31:18 | 0:31:21 | |
Welcome to our very special
Christmas edition of Cheggers Plays | 0:31:21 | 0:31:24 | |
Pop. | 0:31:24 | 0:31:29 | |
A career on TV seemed
somewhat inevitable, | 0:31:29 | 0:31:31 | |
even in his early teens. | 0:31:31 | 0:31:34 | |
He was a natural in front of
the camera, in productions like this | 0:31:34 | 0:31:37 | |
road safety video. | 0:31:37 | 0:31:43 | |
Gosh, thanks! | 0:31:43 | 0:31:46 | |
Do you want to swap this? | 0:31:46 | 0:31:47 | |
Just a few years later, Cheggers,
as the public now called | 0:31:47 | 0:31:50 | |
him, was sharing the screen with
some of entertainment's most famous | 0:31:50 | 0:31:52 | |
faces. | 0:31:52 | 0:31:55 | |
How long did it take you to record
the album? | 0:31:55 | 0:32:00 | |
Figures who worked with Keith
Chegwin have been paying tribute. | 0:32:00 | 0:32:02 | |
I knew he was very unwell. | 0:32:02 | 0:32:04 | |
I spoke to him about
four weeks ago, and he | 0:32:04 | 0:32:06 | |
said he was recovering,
so I didn't expect this. | 0:32:06 | 0:32:08 | |
Very, very sad news. | 0:32:08 | 0:32:10 | |
His one-time presenting partner
and former wife, Maggie Philbin, | 0:32:10 | 0:32:12 | |
said: his career did decline
for a time, | 0:32:12 | 0:32:16 | |
and the public were shocked to
discover that he was an alcoholic, | 0:32:29 | 0:32:32 | |
something he spoke about when he
appeared on Celebrity Big Brother. | 0:32:32 | 0:32:37 | |
What I'd do is all the tricks. | 0:32:37 | 0:32:40 | |
You never buy a full
bottle of whiskey, | 0:32:40 | 0:32:42 | |
because you can't hide it,
so you buy 2/2 bottles. | 0:32:42 | 0:32:49 | |
In fact, reality TV helped
give him a new outlook. | 0:32:49 | 0:32:53 | |
He was able to regain
much of the fame | 0:32:53 | 0:32:55 | |
of his early career,
thanks to his honesty, | 0:32:55 | 0:32:57 | |
personality, and endless ability
to laugh at himself. | 0:32:57 | 0:33:05 | |
Few TV stars can claim to have had
a top-selling chart hit, to have | 0:33:05 | 0:33:09 | |
entertained and delighted millions
while in their teens, and then to | 0:33:09 | 0:33:11 | |
have still been doing the same
for viewers decades later. | 0:33:11 | 0:33:18 | |
